Description: | Incomplete copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date, probably the second century (AD 100 - AD 200). Diameter 20mm, thickness 2mm. Weight 2.97g.The disc brooch has a plain rim and is decorated on the front face with a sexfoil copper alloy motif with concave arms each of which terminates with a sub-circular end. Within this motif is a central copper alloy circular pellet. The fields within the motif and surrounding the pellet would have contained enamel. However, no enamel has survived. On the flat and plain rear face is a single perforated iron stained lug. A break has occurred through the centre of the peforation. The pin and the outer part of the catch-plate are missing and the brooch is corroded due to the effects of active bronze disease. The breaks are old.
